Notes From the Kitchen

It's been a rainy morning here on the farm, and according to the web it's only going to be about 72 degrees today. Add to that I collected 6 more eggs this morning and I decided to spend the day in the kitchen. So far I've made a veggie quiche, and a squash pie, a pan of brown sugar brownies is waiting on the oven and for dinner there will be chicken and dumplings. Only dinner will not use eggs and I still have about 3 dozen in the fridge. I see another quiche around the corner.

Veggie quiche: Tomatoes, zucchini, green peppers and eggs all from the farm. I did wimp out on the crust and use a pre-made one.

Here you see 1 jumbo pink banana squash. It's an heirloom variety that cooks up very similar to a pumpkin. Bake it, add some spices, eggs and milk and you get....

a pie that hopefully is very pumpkin pie like. Again, I cheated and used a store bought crust.

The brown sugar brownies are waiting patiently for their turn in the oven. Willow however is most excited about those and is not as patient. She does enjoy making a quiche though since breaking eggs is her kitchen favorite. Very productive day in the kitchen- now I just need someone to do the dishes. *sigh*
